that are are soon to come of course there is a business there there's there's profits and even mega profits made by this kind of security apparatus there is no indication that such an attack was coming so is it possible by by by using military methods and security methods alone to stop terrorist attacks to protect society i don't think so we can see though that the u.s. policy at home and abroad as well is almost exclusively based on. towards security towards militarization towards the abrogation of civil rights and civil liberties which i think ultimately don't defend protect and make people more secure . and on the way the fear and frustration after the deadly bombings in boston the highly controversial cyber security bill finally gets the pay from the u.s. hands of representatives next now we report on how the new law could be used in the

war on terror and why it's causing cry in america. when on top of the tragedy in boston this week or so i saw the u.s. hit with one of its worst industrial disasters in decades leaving fifteen dead more than one hundred injured and dozens still missing an explosion at a texas fertilizer plant was so powerful it registered as a small earthquake and could be heard from more than one hundred kilometers away. i think. you know the resulting explosion wiped out in time neighborhoods of the small town of west entire blocks of has is and apartments were mangled by the blast as well as a nearby retirement home and a school in the immediate aftermath noxious fumes hung heavy over the area wildfires could be seeing burning for miles around a spokesman for the texas department of public safety described what he witnessed.
5:11 am
i can tell you i was there i walked through the blast area i searched some houses earlier tonight massive just like iraq just like the murray building in oklahoma city same car on an exploded so you can imagine what kind of damage we're looking out there. for days on the flames still and yet there are reports that ruptured chemical tanks at the plant and now leaking top scenes and sparking small fire as the area is also being quarantined with locals relocated while rescue is missing people under the dead brain it's also have managed that they may have been serious safety shortfall was at the plant perhaps encouraged by decades of negligence by inspector is dr jeffrey pattison is a professor at the school of medicine at wisconsin university he thinks that lax federal ready regulation is to blame. there's been this montreaux that we have to deregulate we have to take away regulations so business can thrive and obviously we
5:12 am
see examples like this or fukushima for example where when we do that we suffer the consequences in the end and so i think and we're seeing it with the environmental protection agency today where they are promulgating new regulations if there is a mother who she learned troubles that will all of the clean up to be in much more lax than it currently is and not force people to be moved out of the area because of radiation damage so there's this tremendous move. to to deregulate things to take away the powers of the e.p.a. and other regulatory agencies and i think that's a we're seeing now that that's a very dangerous precedent i'm floor in this eyewitness account stories from those injured and expert comments are all available at home and that you can also watch movies. of the blast and find out what the danger is not.

you for a t.v. it's hard for the people with that much courage because. you can't be cowed so i think it's long term prospects the court could amnesty international have labeled him a prisoner of conscience but unless the international community wakes up to abuses in bahrain there's little hope that maybe over jobs going to be tasting freedom any time soon. see london's ecuadorian embassy. well for more on me on the rest of the gulf state i'm joined live by see hobby a leading figure in bahrain's freedom movement thank you very much for your time this afternoon firstly the right starts in less than three hours time given all the demonstrations that have taken place in the last few days can we expect it to pass peacefully do you think. well i think the people behind have made their point very clear. situation is very tense there are hundreds of police.

of sociology at the university of california says there may be an ongoing effort to destabilize the situation. this is not a new tactic on the part of washington another type of the owner not a new tactic on the part of the new of the venezuelan opposition and generally the far right in latin america which aligns with washington the idea is you have an all out to stables and this civilization campaign this is simply another tactic within that campaign there's been diplomatic isolation economic sabotage our military activity the agenda put it in two thousand and two massive us financing for the internal opposition including for properties and for the organizations that he represents and so we see this very often when there's all the action which is very close and when the united states wants to get rid of a government in this case the macdougall job is with little government around an election it will launch violence and trying create chaos and instability and the united states will not recognize the results and this is the at least of this is an

incredible focus on the part of u.s. foreign policy because mexico just had elections in which there was masterful because mexico is a close ally of the united states is the u.s. immediately work recognizes the results only lose the joy just by opposition to this for the result is no moral authority whatsoever to talk about the going to sort of them elections. it makes her an artsy we take a look at the booming gold rush in colombia. oh no lazy bureaucratic and trivial censorship strikes again but this time in russia a bill has been signed into law that will put fines on individuals and legal entities for using vulgar in the media one major flaw of many with this is that they really don't know which words are going to be considered vulgar i guess these words are so
5:27 am
awful that they cannot even write them down i'm not naïve there has always been and will always be censorship but this where wordless is just silly there is a common expression on the russian internet that russian mainstream media conducts more and eyes ation of society russian t.v. does have all the bloody violent action movies as well as scandalous talk shows which are kind of like freak shows and plenty of reality t.v. where young people pretty much act like subhuman animals in a cage they've got all that so the government is basically saying that if some guy on t.v. because there are twenty people blooded limbs flying that that is totally ok for television unless they come out for bid swear while doing it you can show brainless materialistic dimwits sleeping and fighting with everything that moves on a reality show but if they say that one magic three letter russian word then it is over the line this is not a logical way to conduct censorship but that's just my opinion.
